Description
Psychological Care for Cancer Patients: New Perspectives on Training Health Professionals is an innovative work in psychosocial oncology which examines the role of creative expression in the psychological treatment of cancer patients. After having spent five decades in this field, Domenico Arturo Nesci has become a proponent of treatment that values patients as creatives and valiant fighters rather than objects of an ambivalent compassion.
This book analyses this intersection of psychology, the humanities, medicine, and social work through scholarship conceived to help all people whose lives are crossed by cancer: patients, relatives, caregivers, health professionals, and students.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised for its original approach, the book integrates a humanistic yet psychologically grounded perspective on the patient-doctor relationship amidst modern, technology-driven medical settings. Dominique Scarfone, MD, highlights its potential to enrich understanding of cancer's existential impact for both sufferers and caregivers.
